    That third last pic of your car with out the front plate FN looks great. Almost like it was taken in the US at first glance

    Sound, man! The "USDM" look is what I've been going for, it's unreal the difference the spray job and plate delete has made to the car to be honest, completely in love with it :)

    Haha. Legacy GT's like mine are super rare in NZ. 280hp is way more fun in a manual!

    They're only rare in manual. I had an auto one myself over there. Not a huge fan of legacy auto boxes. I had a much much older 3 series wagon that was smoother...if not slower.

    Spent the weekend cleaning, changing panels, doors, wheels, detailing, and polishing my gf's (and my second car sometimes) mk4.
    She was a dented, swirl marked, dull mess! First time giving more than just a quick car shampoo clean a go on a car. A lot of work, but satisfying!

    How she started:

    Just getting going with first layer of tcut:

    I was surprised with the difference, need to get a proper orbital polisher now... the Aldi 20 quid job I used is as refined and well thought out as a Donald trump speech!

    Beginners luck / ignorance I'd say! Turtle wax original, and then all autoglym stuff, their super resin polish seems really good.

    You must have the patience of a saint, SRP near anything with plastic trim would drive me bonkers!

    I'm no detailing snob but I'm still in the horrors of my first attempts at cleaning cheap cars with turtlewax stuff years ago - I made the mistake of using the "coloured" wax... :o:mad:

    Can't argue with your results for minimum outlay though!

    I'm still a complete newbie so loads to learn! Plastic trim pops outta the bumpers and doors on those in 2 secs which is handy.

    Finish it off? Jesus.

    Any chance you could pop around to mine and just do the same 'half-arsed' job on my a6? ;)

    Looking for some cleaning gear for my car, been using various things from halfords which are quite good
    Anyone try this place
